It’s supposed to be a day of bad luck but today in N.E.P.A (north east pennsylvania) the weather’s gorgeous, sunny and in the 90’s.
Today is Friday the 13 which many western countries regard as inauspicious or ominous. Yet, according to the Dutch Centre for Insurance Statistics (CVC), fewer accidents and reports of fire and theft occur when the 13th of the month falls on a Friday than on other Fridays. It is likely that on this day People are more cautious and watchful when they drive or just stay at home based on the analysis of the CVC.
In our culture we also avoid the number four meaning “death”. When we ride an elevator in hospital, the four floor is missing (the fifth instead). The four-floor apartments are often sold at a lower price compared to other-floor apartments.
Why are we afraid of certain numbers? Do those numbers really determine our fate or destiny?
In Psalm 118:24, this is the day that the Lord has made; let’s rejoice and be glad in it.
